If they don’t talk about Jesus, what in the world do they talk about?

And what in the world is the basis for calling it a “protestant congregation”.

Gretta is probably a dyke, which means she is her own god.

Protestant reasoning leads (or, can lead) to some unusual places.

Can an atheist lead a Protestant church?

Well, I guess that depends. Lead to where?

It is ridiculous. The reason for a gathering is to worship
God. if this is not happening than it is no longer a chruch.

A group of lost souls meeting in a building doesn’t make a church.

Mark 9:42
Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

Maybe I’m missing something, but... How does an atheist minister in a Christian church counsel and guide his/her congregation?

My ex-church just appointed a fag minister. Christianity is KILLING itself while Islam is on the march.

Considering the current pope this is not such an absurd question.

Calvinist would not have a female minister.

When you start redifining what the Bible says you end up with this

2 Timothy 3 v 5-7

‘Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.’

says it all in a nutshell.

A State run Church. This is definitely an End Times sign. You can bet that the pastor is a member of the clergy response team.

2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts.

This is what christianity is like in many European countries. It’s considered kind of an ethnic group not a belief system. I once argued with a Euro about calling non-belivers “Christians”. He claimed I was using a “no true Scotsman” arguement. I said, “OK, if Christians can be non-belivers, then vegetarians can be meat eaters.” That hits at a serious belief for them. I’ll bet it would for this woman too.

Many “Christian” churches are now 100% in the service of atheistic materialism.
